Nice, solid Applebee's dinner while we were in town visiting family. They have something for everyone so it was the right place for us. We liked their 2 for $25 deal (or they have a 2 for $20 with different options), which includes an appetizer, two entrees from a set menu. We ordered the boneless wings for an appetizer and there were a million options for sauces but we did the regular and blue cheese dipping sauce - they were good little nuggets of breaded, fried chicken doused in sauce like you expect - yum. We wish the blue cheese dressing was more blue-cheesy, is all. For our entrees, I ordered a steak and my husband got the ribs. We both liked our dinners - tasty food with big portions and nice side dishes. Predictable and nothing fancy but sometimes that's exactly what you want. There are lots of upgrades (with additional cost) that they throw out at you while you're ordering (loaded mashed potatoes instead of just regular, etc.) Very clean restaurant, lively with lots of screens to watch whatever sport you're interested in. Great service from the greeter holding the door open to our server to the manager walking around checking on everyone - even another server stopped by to talk to us about our kids and was super friendly. Our waitress was training a new server and even so, she never missed a beat. Food came quickly, plastic cups for our kids, quick with the check and no problems splitting it. They're on it. We'd gladly come here again! read more

I don't like writing "bad" reviews especially when it involves one of my favorite places to eat, around. but. I waited in curb side pickup for 20 minutes. I understand that at times, it's rush hour... but that wasn't the case here. I feel like at least someone should be checking for those who ordered for pickup specifically. I was in camera view and still no one came. read more

Ordered Carside and it was pretty good for a chain restaurant. The chicken, mashed potatoes, and green beans were hot and had good flavor. The sweet and spicy chicken was good as well. The server was quick and friendly when he came out. read more

Love this place. Servers are great. Pleasant atmosphere. Lots of parking. Love the wonton tacos!! read more

First time there. Wasn't too busy for a Thursday night. The wait-staff was great! Came with a high school volleyball team. Orders were correct, and timely. It's been years since I've been to an Applebees , and I do believe the "quality" of the food has gone down... read more

I've gone to several Applebees over the years. Usually all good experiences this place was no different. Staff was very friendly and quick. Drinks topped up right before you could even finish, food prepared in a very timely manner. read more

I only go to Applebee's once a year to remember why I don't go to Applebee's. Poorly reheated Sysco food.

Lunch, a disaster. We ate in the bar. The waitress did not write our order down, that's were it all started. She came back after about 10 minutes and asked what we ordered. My husband ordered fajita burger with mashed potatoes and chicken fajita soup. He got French fries and about a 1/4 c of soup with a heap of tortilla chips. I ordered the same soup with 1/4c being served! I ordered a Cesar salad and got a grilled chicken Cesar salad. I do not like hot meat in my salad and it was not what I ordered. They did take it off my bill but really....... read more

Hostess, set us in booth which we asked, but was center booth so I like the back booths away from most people so I ask to sit there, restaurant is empty mostly. Both has pictures of local high school girls playing volleyball, not sure what that has to do, but I feel it's maybe a play on the we're all family theme. The very next guest the hostess puts right next to us. WTF. 4 top with thankfully a quiet baby. Started with the multi-platter, average bar food at best, the quesadilla wasn't half bad, breadsticks, dip, and wings just ok. Our server was being shadowed by someone, and they were both very polite. Waitresses get 5 stars. Hostess 1 Star. Manager stopped by to check on us. Star. Main course. Worth a star. The bowl was excellent my date got the strawberry salad also excellent. I drink an Arnold Palmer, they automatically put a lemon on the side, I don't like fruit on the side, to many germs in restaurant. You got at least three people probably handled that fruit. I'll pass. Waitresses came back and checked on us. Got the desert. Chocolate explosion is what it should be called. Excellent. Overall descent dining experience. Loses star for poor hostess skills. Give people some space. read more

Everything else was closed at 11:00pm. This is a really good Applebees. I'm not a fan of this chain but I have to admit that this location was pretty darn good. The waitress was straight up with us about what was freshest. The bkneless ribs in honey barbeque sauce were spot on. I had half rack of ribs. The brocvoli must have been local because it definitely didn't taste trucked in or frozen. The rice was bland and blah. I should have chosen potatoes. All over MI we had great potatoes. My son had lime chicken and said it was great st least a half dozen times. Service was fast and friendly despite us being one of the last customers. If you too overdo your sight seeing and need a descent meal, go here. read more

Very nice experience at Applebee's. Our waiter was very attentive and the food was great. Exactly what you'd hope for from an Applebee's restaurant. I'd be happy to come back! read more

First off this is coming from a customer AND DoorDasher. The manager told another dasher that had been waiting almost an hour and wanted to know what the hold up was "I don't want your kind in the restaurant, you guys have stained shirts, smell like weed and cigarettes and are fat". I myself have had 45 minute waits there for small pay so, yeah, it does get irritating. To degrade and insult dozens and dozens of hometown delivery drivers AND customers, as I am... This is unacceptable. I will not be delivering for them anymore as well as others and I hope the word gets around to other dashers to take this seriously. Keep in mind you have to go IN the restaurant to get the delivery. Also I take my job very serious and do not smoke pot... also I have lost 200 pounds so I'd like you to stop calling me fat Mr. Manager. read more

This was terrible, I fully understand being understaffed and don't care how long it takes if the food is correct, but this was nothing but poor. $13 for a grilled chicken ceases salad we asked for as an appetizer, ordered a sample and soup for my meal and my husband ordered a burger. The salad and burger came out only and the Classic bacon cheeseburger had no bacon or cheese. The salad had maybe a spoonful of cheese and wasn't worth $13!! We asked to have the burger remade and cancelled the soup and appetizer platter waited and 15 Miya de according to the waiter who was "surprised" the burger wasn't delivered yet! Very disappointed with the entire situation! read more

Great food but bad service. Terry messed up our order two times and didn't admit fault to either of them. Just all around an unpleasant person. Good manager though. She was very kind when she came to our table. Even personally delivered the correct dish. read more

Never Again - We used to LOVE Applebees but the last couple times the service has been iffy at best. Today I have 6 kids dressed to the 9s heading to Prom - I drop them at the door planning to hide out on the bar side while they have dinner. Walk in 10min later to find out they put all 6 young adults (15) at a high top in the bar. Girls dressed in high heels and long dresses and guys in fulls suits smashed at a high table in the bar. I asked the question and the Hostess said she wasn't going to take the time to move them now that they were seated. Terrible Service and Zero Class at this establishment! read more

After a long day of travel we lodged in Sault Ste. Marie and the Applebee's was just across the street. Their new menu is quite impressive. I had the salmon and skewer shrimp with coleslaw and grilled veggies. My wife went for the baby back ribs and also the shrimp, green beans and broccoli. Nice portions and nicely cooked. We shared a "blondie with pecans, vanilla ice cream and cream cheese sauce. Really tasty. Our server, Thea, was very friendly and attentive, even though it was quite busy. The background music was just right and my wife and I could carry on a conversation with no problem. read more

Garage service. manager was Clueless about anything. Waiter wasn't terrible. But still they were so understaffed it wasn't the greatest service. Food was good though props to the kitchen stay. But the management was garage read more

So we got into town around 8pm and are leaving around noon tomorrow. We were starved and stopped by the nearest restaurant to our hotel. Our Server, Kullen, was amazing!! He was so fast with all his tables. We ordered beer and 5 seconds later they were on our table! After dinner, he gave us lots of ideas as to what to do in Sault Saint Marie. Great service and great food. read more

Me and mom, went to the Sault Ste Marie, Michigan, Applebee's today (9-6), and the service was awful. I asked for no seasoning on my fries, I got seasoned fries, had to ask for more. When the waiter took are order, we told the waiter separate checks, when we got are bill it was one check, told waiter that we wanted it separated, then the waiter asks how do you want it separate. Mom asked for a senior discount, and they gave me the senior discount!!! read more

When we came in there was a sudden rush and the ENTIRE crew went into action!! Another waiter gave us waters as he seen we hadn't been waited on then the manager came over to take our order and make sure everything was great, and when our waitress was able to come to our table she was as friendly as can be. Just an awesome experience (food was very good btw,lol) will make the special trip next time in town. read more

BLUF: Consistently tasty food, prepared well, served hot and quickly by friendly wait staff at a reasonable price. I would much rather be ranting and raving about the quality chow and service served up by the local mom and pop eateries here in the Soo but I don't think they get it. -Do your job well each and every time and "they will come"-. Seems simple to me but the crap shoot that is dining out in Sault Sainte Marie gets tiresome. Good food, prepared well and served hot with a smile is not difficult, yet remains elusive except that Applebee's gets it. That is what keeps us coming back, and based on the full parking lot at ALL times, others feel the same way. Honorable mention: Delynn (greeter) and Jessica (wait staff). read more

Had grilled chicken with 2 sides, chose broccoli and garlic mashed potatoes, was very tasty, spiced just right to my taste and more than enough food. The server was very attentive to all 5 of us. We all enjoyed our different meals, and didn't have to wait too long for anything. Very nice evening. read more

I honestly love this place..., come here weekly but the serving staffs is absolutely terrible the only person that ever helps me is Izzy carley, the girl needs a raise. I've only ever seen her host tables and clean but she does more than anyone else there ever has and I've had it. Get my order messed up Evertime I come and she always fixes me up just right. Idk what management is thinking but something needs to happen bcs this girl is getting screwed over............ read more

My hubby and I wanted a good burger, we went here to see what they had. We ordered what they try to call a triple bacon cheeseburger. It came with 2 small strips of bacon, and an assurance that the rest of the bacon was mixed in somewhere in the meat. Well, I was a little disappointed to say the least, so was my hubby. Not that I want my arteries to clog, but when I want bacon, I want bacon... the fries were good, just given a small amount, could have been warmer, and the presentation of the meal was lackluster at best. No garnish of any kind, not even a pickle. Looked sort of plain Jane. The manager was buzzing around checking on everything, I had my mouthful, or I would have told her. It's an ok place to eat, but there are better places to get more for your money. read more

Went Sunday after Church... I have never eaten a Steak from here, but I did this time, and it was pretty good...! Had Shrimp and Alfredo sauce... Yumm. read more

Was welcomed warmly at the door and quickly taken to our seats by the staff. After placing our orders the staff was very patient with the group beside of us who had knocked over their glass full of pop. Food arrived at a reasonable time and the Chicken Wonton Tacos were good as always. Will definitely choose to go to Applebee's again in the. Idk what it was upon my second visit. But the steak caused explosive diarrhea and misery for the following night. Legendary service. Amazing food at a low price read more

Incredible staff, and incredible food. Applebee's is a great place to connect with friends over delicious meals. My personal favourite is the triple bacon burger and of course the mozzarella cheese sticks! :) read more

I enjoy their food as it tastes very good, however if you are on a diet or want to be healthy in general stand clear of this calorie bazooka. Most of the salads and the sauces are loaded with extra calories. And most of the pasta is per-frozen so if your looking for fresh anything, your in the wrong place. However if you came for drinks and greasy finger food then look no more as you can get plastered all over the wall with you wolf pack if your willing to pay top dollar that is. read more

This is one of my favorite places to get boneless chicken wings. They have great BBQ sauce too. Some of their food is okay but Ive had better. The staff is very friendly. read more

Really good food most of the time. One time we got some fish and it wasn't cooked enough. Some of the servers can be a little rude BUT I understand that their job gets tough. I would recommend trying their wings or chicken wonton tacos!! They also have really good lemonades :) read more

Excellent service! The wait staff is very polite and considerate. They even offered up extra food for their very small mess ups that weren't even close to bad in the first place. The atmosphere is very comfortable and sometimes I forget I'm even in public when I'm here since it's so comfortable. The food comes out hot and they even remove things from foods if you have lactose intolerance or other allergies to food. The staff was paying so much attention we barely had to use the tablet on the table to call them. read more

Really good. I guess I had lower expectations since it's in the Soo, but this location does a better job than most applebees downstate. Great late night specials! I guess I also like it since they have a picture from my LSSU fire academy in the lobby. read more

My family and I went here for a late dinner and were pleasantly surprised. Awesome food. Very clean resteraunt inside and out. Would very highly recommend. Plus our waitress was on top of everything. read more

We have been there numerous times lately and have had Kullen each time as a waiter. He is the best of the best! He talks to you like he knows you and makes the meals very enjoyable. Great job, Kullen! read more

web page says takes reservations, NOT the case when I called. Young lady on phone sounded 12, and relied when I asked if I could make 6pm dinner reservations, "you can send someone in a 1/2 hour early to see". Yea, I'll do that... read more

Our appetizer came out fairly quickly, however our meal took 50 minutes. We were about to get up and walk when the waiter finally appeared with our meals. Plus our wrapped silverware was only a fork! WTF! I think this place takes advantage of the area since they are one of the rare sit down places in town. Dairy Queen would have been a better choice for burgers & fries. read more

Went late night before Labor Day and before wanting to walk the bridge with my mom and some friends. My mother was served spoiled tomato basil soup that made her ill immediately. I called the restaurant immediately when we got to the hotel and between her vomiting. The manager assured me that we would be called. As of today - we still have heard nothing. Subsequently- Mom could not make the bridge walk. read more

It's as good as an Applebee's gets, as good as any other in their chain. Speaking chain-wide, I don't normally stop at an Applebee's unless it is convenient to where I'm staying. The food is 'A-OK' and the help is friendly and efficient. But it doesn't really rise to the point where I look forward to going back. read more

Arrived at lunch time (noon) and it was busy but still places to sit. We were meeting friends to celebrate a belated birthday lunch. Wedge salad was great and I got my friend to try the wonton tacos. If you haven't they are the #BombDotCom. Great lunch and then we hinted to our waiter Keil (Kyle) to get a birthday dessert for our girlfriend. He did and then brought the entire crew out to sing. She was surprised! Also-they now have a computer/tv thingy at each table. Makes the kids be quiet. Visited April 2016 read more
